Perfect 10/10
Enjolras: Being gay is a constant battle between “I wish to sit on a window bench with my lover, our legs tangling as we listen to the birds” and “Hey, let’s go throw rocks at fascists” and I think that’s very sexy of us.
Grantaire: If the window’s open and you time it right you can do both.
dean had a massive crush on elvira growing up. like i’m talking owned every movie, had every add on tape, had her poster on his bedroom ceiling, like everything
the “I will commit war crimes” nerd and “please let me love you” punks
a very proud librarian and a filthy, rude, complete scoundrel <3
Most people in this fandom know exactly three lines from Euripides (Anne Carson trans.):
Pylades: I'll take care of you.
Orestes: It's rotten work.
Pylades: Not to me. Not if it's you.
Now, this is all well and good for understanding Vicky's parallelism with Orestes & Pylades, Achilles & Patroclus, and Enjolras & Grantaire and explains the dynamic well enough,
if we evaluate it in context, we find the good kush.
Background: A council is deciding if Orestes will be stoned to death, and things aren't looking good for him. He and Pylades have just decided to run away together.
Orestes: Beware the contagion of madness.
Enjolras: If you join me, you will die.
Pylades: Come on.
Grantaire: Vive la Republique, I am one of them.
Orestes: You won't shrink back?
Enjolras:
Pylades: A friend does not shrink back.
Grantaire:
Orestes: Then let's go.
Pylades: Let's go.
Enjolras & Grantaire:
enjoltaire, but coquette.
y rn’t men like this irl 😭
Theo + crush pls <3
theo with a crush is intense.
with his dead eyes, he'd stare at you across the room with absolutely no shame. making you wonder if he's staring or glaring.
you'd be in class answering the professor's question when you feel those watercolour eyes piercing into you. or sitting in the great hall eating and laughing with your friends only to look up and see a certain slytherin watching you intently. or reading underneath the willow tree in the courtyard and sneaking a glance at the dark haired boy smoking by the stairs to find theo already looking at you.
despite what everyone else thinks, theo's actually quite introverted and reserved. he learns by observing. he watches you. reads your body language. gauges what you like and dislike by your expression.
in class, he'd start interacting with you more. he'd mutter sarcastic comments under his breath because he knows it makes you smile. he'd lean in close when he's handing you back your quill because he know how flustered you get. he'd fetch the ingredients from the tallest shelves and place them on your desk cause he knows you can't reach and that you're too shy to ask.
as soon as you start getting more comfortable around him, he knows its the right time to make a move.
this man is a mastermind. he knows what he wants and he gets what he wants.
he'd come up to you while you're reading under your designated spot and casually bring up the fact that he's going to a book release in hogsmeade that weekend—the same book you've been raving to your friends about for weeks.
"that's my favorite series."
"is that so?" he'd ask with a little smirk. acting like he didn't already know this information. "well, it just so happens that I have a plus one. would you like to come with, dolcezza?"
"i'd love to, theo."
